Spring3-使用父项目的视图-获取404

Question

I have a parent "base" project (jar) which contains controllers with their corresponding views.

In my child project (war), I have a dependency on this parent project in my pom.xml and "import" the parents application context in the childs application context, however when I start the web app, I get a 404 on /views/index.jsp.

How am i able to get my child war project to know about the parents views, the controllers are all working as expected with the use of annotations.

I get a 404 on /views/index.jsp, i guess this is because its looking in my child project (war) for the views, where as they are in the parent project...

Code samples below:

applicationContext-parent.xml

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix">
        <value>/views/</value>
    </property>
    <property name="suffix">
        <value>.jsp</value>
    </property>
</bean>

View files are kept in parent under /src/main/resources/views

applicationContext-child.xml

<beans>
    // some other stuff
    <import resource="classpath:applicationContext-parent.xml" />
    // more stuff
</beans>

Found the answer after much searching...

Its detailed here: enter link description here

In essense... "Have a look at the maven war plugin. This plugin allows what it calls overlays.

Overlays are used to share common resources across multiple web applications. The dependencies of a WAR project are collected in WEB-INF/lib, except for WAR artifacts which are overlayed on the WAR project itself."
